We don't expect the unexpected when we fall in love. At least I didn't. Once it was done, that's all there was to it. I loved him and he loved me, and we would work out the rest, like college and careers. One thing we knew for sure was that we'd be together through it all. Fate ensured that when suddenly we were at the same school, despite us meeting on such a whim that summer, living thousands of miles apart.
Until we weren't.
Now, I'm stuck in the aftermath and barefoot in the rubble, left with a permanent reminder of the only boy I've ever loved, and he has no idea I'm pregnant. Cheerleading ended for me before it really even began, and Breyson never had a shot at college football. I still have half of my senior year to go and overnight it's no longer just about me anymore. I'm drowning in despair.
But Fate has a way of twisting the plot when you think you know where you're heading, even when someone I've known all of my life has a new meaning to me. Maybe, had I followed the clues, I would have seen this one coming. I'm standing at a crossroads with the biggest question I'll likely ever face. Do I do what's right or follow my heart?
Three hearts are on the line, but mates come in twos, and I'm the one that must choose which one will lose.
I found books when I was going through a hard time in life. They became my means of escape when things got bad. I realized quickly how much I loved to take a backseat to someone else's life and watch the journey unfold. That began my journey with books in November of 2012. I constantly had a book open on my Kindle app. Never in a million years would I have imagined myself as a writer, because I never thought I was creative enough. I'm living proof that things will fall into place when they're meant to be. People will make their way into our lives when we don't expect it, setting the path for what we are meant to do. Never give up on people. Never stop taking a chance on others. Someone took a chance on trusting me with her work when she didn't know me from a stranger on the street and gave me the opportunity of a lifetime as our relationship progressed, which led me to editing and writing as well. This is my dream I never knew I had. As soon as I sat down and gave writing a shot, it was like the floodgates opened. Now, I am lost in a world of fiction in my head, new characters constantly screaming for their stories to be told. Continue to dream and to go for them. No one ever found happiness by sitting on the sidelines. Sometimes we have to take risks and put ourselves out there. Thank you for all of your support, and may there be many books to come. XOXO- C
